A Prince George man was arrested following a brazen attempt to get away with nearly $4,000 worth of items from a local business.

Lionel William Tanguay, 41, has been charged with seven counts, including break and enter with intent to commit a crime.

Prince George RCMP said officers were called to a 600-block Central Street West business at about 2:40 a.m. on Wednesday.

It's alleged Tanguay smashed a window then loaded a shopping cart with merchandise. He was arrested nearby and police recovered the items from Tanguay, the shopping cart and a nearby dumpster, RCMP said.

Tanguay remained in custody following an appearance in court by teleconference on Wednesday.
